you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet

Cyclones

an idealized model

A cyclone is an area of low pressure
around which the winds flow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and
clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

A developing cyclone is typically accompanied by a
warm front pushing northward and a
cold front pulling southward, marking the leading
edges of air masses being wrapped around a
center of low pressure,
or the center of the cyclone.
